Iframe link from Confluence stopped working

Mick Flynn 3 years ago updated 3 years ago 5

Hi,

We have been exposing public model views as IFrames in our Confluence documentation for some time but recently this has stopped working with "Connection refused". Using the link in a normal browser window still works fine. Example:

<iframe src="https://my.vertabelo.com/logical/public-model-view/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx?x=6500&y=6500&zoom=0.99" noborder="0" width="1500" height="1000" scrolling="yes" seamless></iframe>

Is there something that has changed in your request handling behaviour?

Thanks!

Under review

There was a change as a part of security hardening. We've blocked embedding our app into iframes.


The preferred way to embed a model is copy&pasting generated Javascript code. But  as a Confluence user you're probably limited to "iframe". 


We'll let you know about the fix/workaround.  Sorry for any inconvenience.

Thanks again for your quick answer.

I understand your measures to increase security so well done. Looking forward to hearing a workaround. I suppose it's not possible to simply whitelist IFrame requests from trusted sites such as Confluence?

Hi,

We're going to check if we can exclude  "public previews" from that security rule.

Hi,

This is fixed. Please check if it works for you.

Yes, I checked it half an hour ago and everything is back! Thanks very much for your help!!
